JUNE 2009

Moonstone

Crystal name: Moonstone

Crystal kind: Feldspar 

Colours: White (the most pure form), cream, peach, pink, grey, all with an iridescent shimmer, especially in moonlight

Crystal traditions:  Romans believed that moonstones were formed out of pure moonlight. Moonstone is the symbol of moon goddesses everywhere. Because the moon was associated with female reproductive cycles from early times and the moon goddesses brought with love and fertility, the moonstone is the most powerful of all fertility crystals in almost every culture.

Healing Properties:  Moonstone is especially healing for all illnesses in women, though it helps with hormonal and thyroid problems with both sexes. For women it eases troubles with fluid retention, PMT. menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, the menopause and fertility problems. Emotionally, a moonstone helps to lessen mood swings, insomnia, nightmares, and hormonal and stress-related headaches.

Uses in everyday life: Keep moonstones in the main sitting area at home to ease the tensions of the day .A stone for shift workers and those whose jobs involve constant travelling and irregular hours as moonstones help the body clock to adjust

Spiritual properties: Good for attracting love. Light a silver candle next to a white moonstone on the night of the crescent moon. Speak words to a known and reluctant or unknown lover into the candle flame and pass the moonstone carefully through the flame nine times. Blow out the candle and send the love to the desired lover. Carry the moonstone until the next crescent moon and if necessary repeat the ritual till love comes.

Special properties: Moonstones protect travellers, especially those who travel at night and on or over the sea.
